[BRANCH] RE: Going to other context and/or server in 1.1
While this discussion is going on regarding 'relativity', I'd like to note that bug #12600 reports a problem with the form tag that seems related: Basically form action=login.do always prepends the module context, making it impossible to specify a true relative link (like login.do rather than /app/login.do or /app/module/login.do) which is sometimes desirable. Is it a bug or feature? I'm forced by my architecture to always specify relative links back to the browser, so I can't use the form tag as is. The bug description discusses the type of situation where this may arise... Any thoughts? -JT -Original Message- From: Eddie Bush [mailto:ekbush;swbell.net] Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 1:12 PM To: Struts Developers List Subject: Re: Going to other context and/or server in 1.1 Or - ... contextRelative is new to 1.1 (obviously).

RE: [BRANCH] RE: Going to other context and/or server in 1.1
On my current project, we've dealt with this situation (form tags with context relative actions) by defining another action using the same classes, i.e. now we have two actions in different modules defined using the same Action class, Form class, etc. Then you can still use the Struts form tag. While this at first may seem ugly, it is part of the power of Struts to be able to define new actions without writing any new code, and consistent with the philosophy of modules being independent. That said, for other tag situations where it's nice to share, like html:link, html:image, and html:img, we extended those tags to add a contextRelative attribute.

This behavior is consistent with Struts 1.0. It always prepended the application context, and now it always prepends the application/context. Since actions are not physical files, and we spend a lot of time forwading from here to there, trying to use relative references is not really recommended. -Ted. 10/18/2002 4:44:01 PM, Taylor, Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: While this discussion is going on regarding 'relativity', I'd like to note that bug #12600 reports a problem with the form tag that seems related: Basically form action=login.do always prepends the module context, making it impossible to specify a true relative link (like login.do rather than /app/login.do or /app/module/login.do) which is sometimes desirable.
